3/ Controlling the power outlet over IP
After configuring the network parameters, start your browser and enter the address of
your Power Switch beginning with https:// to establish a secure connection.
The establishment of a secure SSL session takes a bit longer to start up.
The following procedure is used:
1.
Your Web browser contacts the Secure Power Switch server using a secure URL (starts with
https://).
2.
The Power Switch server sends the browser its 1024-bit public key and its server certificate.
3.
Your browser and the server negotiate the encryption level to use for the communications.
4.
Your browser encrypts a 128-bit session key with the public key of the Secure Power Switch
server and sends the encrypted data back to the Secure Power Switch server.
5.
The Secure Power Switch server decrypts the message sent by the client using its private key
and the session is established.
6.
Your browser and the Secure Power Switch server use the session key to encrypt and decrypt
transmitted data.
The Secure Power Switch ONLY uses Secure Port 443 (HTTPS).
Ensure that your Firewall / Router is configured to allow HTTPS to pass through.
To configure the Secure Power Switch you must
log in as administrator and type in the IP address of
the
Secure
Power
Switch
followed
by
/sysadmin.htm. The browser then displays the
authentication dialog box and you will now have to
type in the administrator name and password.
Both default administrator name and password are:
admin
Example:
https://192.168.100.200/sysadmin.htm
To take full control
of your Power Switch
(controlling
all
power
outlets,
reading
temperature…) you must log in as administrator and
simply type in the IP address of the Power Switch.
Example:
https://192.168.100.200
